KOBE SANDERS BACK AT CAL POLY.00_00_15_18.Still002
LA Clippers rookie Kobe Sanders talks about the NBA and current Mustangs in his return to Cal Poly

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (KEYT) - Kobe Sanders received a huge ovation when he was introduced during the rivalry game over the weekend between Cal Poly and UCSB.

Afterwards the 2024 Cal Poly graduate Sanders was applauding the current Mustangs after they snapped a 17-game losing streak to UC Santa Barbara with an 89-79 victory. Sanders never beat the Gauchos in his four seasons at Cal Poly(2020-2024) as the Mustangs notched their first win in this series since January of 2018.

"Feels like home, I mean everyone brought great energy when they saw me," began the 23-year old Sanders. "Just to see the guys go out and compete tonight, beat our rivals Santa Barbara, meant everything to me. Everyone is playing together, playing great basketball soyou love to see that."

Sanders earned All-Big West honors as a senior at Cal Poly leading the team in scoring at 19.6 points per game.

After graduating Cal Poly with a degree in kinesiology in 2024, Sanders went to the University of Nevada as a graduate transfer.

He was named third team All-Mountain West scoring close to 16 points per game during the 2024-'25 season.

Sanders was selected in the second round (50th overall) of the 2025 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks who traded his rights to the Los Angeles Clippers.

He has made an impact during his rookie season for the Clippers, averaging 7 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. The 6'8 shooting guard has also been a solid defender and is playing over 21 minutes per game.

"A lot of people counted me out, a lot of people didn't see me getting many minutes and I have been blessed with the opportunity so just trying to put on for smaller schools and you know smaller cities," smiles Sanders.

Sanders has been so effective for the Clippers that earlier this month they gave him a new contract. He is no longer on a two-way deal but rather a standard 2-year NBA contract worth 2.3 million dollars.

The longshot from Cal Poly is certainly making the most of his shot in the NBA.

Shoppers Visit Farmers Market Before Rain Returns, Cleanup from Monday’s storm continues

Kraig Pakulski 0 22 Article rating: No rating

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) – With more rain starting to cover the Central Coast, the short break between storms is over.

For most of the day,  those who needed to dry off and clean up from Monday's rain got a chance. But now rain is back for round number two.

One of the weekly events that takes place rain or shine is the farmers market on State street downtown.

Farmers were able to set up before the rain moved in, but it picked up just after the afternoon market began.

This is a challenging week with the wet weather keeping many people inside.

The farmers say their fields are muddy but they did their best to bring the cleanest fruits and vegetables out for their displays for this week's market, although some of the product was not easy to harvest with the wet roads on their property.

Ana Pliego with Mike's Organic Farm says to get the vegetables ready after a muddy rain they take, "lots and lots of time. Put it in a big bucket and spray and spray and spray (with water) and you've got to take the leaves apart. It's not perfect. It's patience."    

As for a slower turnout in the rain, "thankfully we have some regulars that are pretty consistent. They show up no matter what. This is where they get their groceries," she said.

A few booths away, Kyle Eckert with Riviera Mushrooms says with the weather shifting, he "just hopes the rain holds off and people are going to brave the rain."

He expects to see weekly customers even with some rain.

"People will definitely still come out. This is a slower market, people are still coming out. Vendors are still here."

In other areas, the clean up has been taking place all day where trees went down on Monday.

Most of the crews got the branches cut and picked up but there's still work to do.

One tree down by the East Beach volleyball courts in Santa Barbara snapped in several places and will need some careful trimming to make it safe.

In the Santa Barbara harbor, the entrance has been filling with sand and that's made it difficult for some vessels to come and go.

The harbor patrol has been checking the levels, especially at low tide and moving the buoys to give boat captains the lanes they need to avoid the sand closing in on the entrance.

We are still waiting for word on when the next dredging operation will take place.

The last time the harbor was dredged was early last year.

Legisladores de Nuevo México aprueban medida para investigar el Zorro Ranch de Epstein

Kraig Pakulski 0 22 Article rating: No rating

Por Kaanita Iyer, CNN

La Cámara de Representantes de Nuevo México aprobó la creación de un comité especial bipartidista para investigar el rancho que el fallecido delincuente sexual Jeffrey Epstein poseía en el estado.

La medida , aprobada el lunes, ordena a la comisión, denominada Comisión de la Verdad, indagar en las “acusaciones de actividad criminal” en la propiedad, conocida como Zorro Ranch, y determinar si se requiere alguna “acción legislativa” adicional. La comisión tiene la autoridad de “obligar la comparecencia de testigos” y “emitir citaciones judiciales”.

“La Cámara de Representantes está preocupada porque la falta de investigación de la presunta actividad criminal en Zorro Ranch y el riesgo de posibles consecuencias de esa actividad continúan afectando la seguridad y el bienestar del estado, y porque la inacción legislativa continuada amenaza la confianza pública en el gobierno estatal”, señala el texto de la medida.

La medida se aprobó con 62 votos, a favor y ninguno en contra. Ocho legisladores estuvieron ausentes.

La creación de la comisión es el más reciente llamado a la transparencia y a una investigación más profunda tras la divulgación por parte del Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos de un gran volumen de archivos sobre Epstein, lo que ha generado conmoción en varios sectores tras revelaciones sobre los vínculos del fallecido financiero con figuras prominentes.

La representante estadounidense Melanie Stansbury, de Nuevo México, celebró este martes la aprobación de la medida y dijo, en una reunión con los copatrocinadores, que “Nuevo México está actuando donde el Gobierno federal no lo está haciendo”.

“Durante muchos, muchos años, hubo denuncias de agresión y abuso sexual que ocurrieron en Zorro Ranch aquí en Nuevo México, que es una de varias propiedades que Jeffrey Epstein poseía, y esos crímenes nunca fueron investigados plenamente —ni por las autoridades locales ni por el FBI—”, afirmó Stansbury.

La representante estatal Marianna Anaya, una de las copatrocinadoras del proyecto, dijo a CNN que es “un alivio” que la medida haya sido aprobada, especialmente de manera bipartidista, y agregó que la comisión está dispuesta a exigir responsabilidades al estado.

“Realmente consideramos que es nuestra responsabilidad como legisladores actuales asegurarnos no solo de investigar, sino de responsabilizar a las personas —no solo al propio Jeffrey Epstein, sino también a quienes lo facilitaron, así como a las instituciones que fallaron a las víctimas. Así que incluso si eso implica responsabilizar al estado, creemos que es necesario”, dijo la legisladora demócrata.

Anaya, quien fue contactada en septiembre por otro copatrocinador para crear la comisión, subrayó que el poder de citación del comité será “realmente crucial”.

“Además de investigar las características físicas de la propiedad en sí, también estamos colaborando con el Departamento de Justicia de Nuevo México para asegurarnos de que las víctimas puedan presentarse, que los testigos puedan presentarse, de una manera que sea tomada en serio, a diferencia de años anteriores”, dijo Anaya.

Antes de que la comisión deje de existir el 1 de enero de 2027, deberá presentar al menos dos informes: uno a la dirección de la Cámara de Representantes del estado antes del 31 de julio y otro a todos los miembros de la Cámara antes del 31 de diciembre, según el texto de la medida.
